Moving forward

To be frank, I've been a less than ideal mother this week. Starting Sunday I was laid low by a major respiratory bug, and then Wednesday morning I received the sad news that my Auntie Mary had passed away after a drawn-out battle with cancer.

This afternoon, when the kids were fussing about one thing or another, I pushed us all outside with our play clothes on. We commenced making one friendly-faced snow gal, and by the end she wasn't the only one smiling.
